Fred

Fred is an American teen sitcom created by Brian Robbins that originally aired on MTV from October 30, 2006 to March 30, 2016 and starred Lucas Cruikshank as Fred Figglehorn, a hyperactive teenage boy (later a young adult) with a high pitched voice who lives with his mother (played by Siobhan Fallon Hogan), who in early episodes was implied to be a prostitute, but this was changed after the series was toned down in later seasons. Other characters include Kevin (played by Adam Hicks seasons 1-3; later by Jake Weary from season 4 onwards), the school bully who often picks on Fred, Judy (played by PLACEHOLDER), a girl Fred has a crush on, and Bertha (played by PLACEHOLDER), the most popular girl in Fred’s school.

The series was based on a pilot Cruikshank submitted to MTV as part of a contest where viewers send in comedy skits of themselves with the grand prize being that the skit will be turned into a TV show. Cruikshank sent in his skit in June 2006 and won out of 5,000 participants.

While the show received mixed reviews from critics, it became popular nonetheless with the pilot garnering 5.2 million viewers.
